Saab 9-3 Coupe Viggen 3d (1999/V) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Expensive from new, but pick up a good second-hand one for the price of a Ford Focus...
Costs
£60 for a new passenger mirror...

On the road
Driving
A lovely firm ride with good power delivery. Excels on long journeys.
Performance
Awesome performance, only let down by the fact that you have no traction control, so making the front wheels spin under heavy acceleration in the first 2 gears.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts first time, every time, stops when you want and never had a thing go wrong with it yet...
Image
With the larger alloy wheels and bodykit, it oozes class. A bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing with all that power.
Comfort
Extremely comfortable, with all the leather, ACC and reasonably firm chassis it's a joy to drive.

Security and Service
Security
Comes with alarm and immobilisor as standard and with the ignition locking the gearbox in reverse and in the position near the handbrake, it just adds to the inner satisfaction of security.
Service
Everything was fine until I decided to sell, then it was daylight robbery, due to the fall in RRPs and the drop in costs due to importing the bottom has fallen out of this reasonably presitious mark.
